Be a role model: Children pick up on behaviours from their parents, so one of the best ways to get your little ones eating well is to let them see you doing the same.

Get them involved: Introduce your children to all aspects of food – from shopping and table laying to preparing and cooking dinner.
Children are more likely to accept a meal if they had some role in creating it, so it’s a good idea to get them into the kitchen, even at an early age.
Make sure healthy foods are available: Accessibility is everything, so it’s a good idea to try to make sure that healthy foods are readily available, and less healthy foods are a little more out of reach.
Avoid the battleground: Children can often develop negative relationships with food based on bad experiences at mealtimes.
Try to focus on positive aspects of food and eating, rather than always focusing on what children haven’t eaten.
Keep an open mind: Phrases such as “He won’t try that” before your children have even tasted something often stick with them.They then grow up to refuse more and more foods because they are always told that they are fussy or that they “don’t like vegetables”...
